In the story, the author firmly grasped this "possession of short-lived things", that is, the heroine uses money to buy things that others have already obtained. In addition to perceiving the abnormal behavior of the heroine, the audience will be confused as to whether this approach is the end or the origin of a certain process, but the author next tells everyone the answer through a series of comparisons: a large area of quiet withered woods and a corner Frequent beating flames, the heroine's satisfying behavior and her tight face, the black and white garbage and chaos outside the factory, and the "colorful" installations and order in the factory. Contrasting shots step by step, from a person's weird behavior to a social horror phenomenon-the apparent order hides chaos and leaks out from time to time. After briefly introducing the source of the "possessive desire for transient things", the author used the house and the people in it to systematically explore the society. As mentioned earlier, the author clearly stated the source of "possessiveness" by switching the camera. In addition to the lens switching, the colors in the film are also used to assist the narrative, instead of the light-assisted narrative method that was discarded due to the creation of a terrifying atmosphere, maintaining the supernatural experience brought by the compound perspective. In painting, color often plays a symbolic role, and the same is true in movies. For example, red symbolizes the depressed mood of the characters, gray symbolizes emptiness, blue and green symbolizes order. In a scene of "house", "house" symbolizes people's living environment and social background. In terms of color, "red" has become the main theme, that is, depression, and the source of depression is escape from reality. To satisfy their short-lived desires but have to return to reality. This contradiction is the contradiction between the demolition of houses to keep warm and the restraint in the face of the flu. It is the indulgence of several couples but considering loyalty and family harmony. The contradiction of the government advocates anarchism, but is unable to make the decision on its own, and is inseparable from the contradiction of relying on the government. Desire for detachment, but because of various social constraints, detachment has become a short-term indulgence. Both indulgence and detachment break the original balance, but the difference is that detachment can form a higher level of balance, while indulgence can only form a lower level of balance.
In addition to symbolism, colors in movies play more roles. The reason why movies are visually different from paintings is precisely because of the fluidity of the pictures. As mentioned earlier, the switching of shots can assist narrative, and the conversion between colors can also assist the expression of emotions. For example, in real life, the character's environment is dominated by warm colors, and the overall is dark. When describing the character's utopia, the character's environment is dominated by cool colors, and the overall is brighter. In addition to the auxiliary narrative, the transformation between colors also has a transitional effect. For example, in the scene when the characters enter the factory, the first shot is the distant scene, the background is the sky, the second is the close scene, the background is the black house and the red dead wood. , And the third one is a distant view, at this time dense industrial installations have replaced the sky. The change of color assists the transition between scenes and also hints at the later transformation of the character's mood.
The author describes the suffering in a large length, so what is the solution? Is it indulgence like in the movie? Promote anarchism? Yuze and fish? Forgotten? This is indeed useful, but it is not a long-term solution. The search for an eternal concept that can be opposed to it is still looking forward to the present.
